In the Hamitic culture or to be precize in the Bene Gahima culture, the custom of respecting cow milk and observing daily rituals in its preparation and preservation was crucial.
The Bahima/ Batutsi women (Bene Gahima women) role was that of conducting daily milk rituals.
Wooden Milk Vases (Ibyansi/Ebyansi) and other milk gourdes sat at an alter known as Uruhimbi.
Excess Milk was churned in a process known as Gucunda or Okucunda amate in a big calabash know as Igisaabo.
The churning would produce Gee or batter.
The Gee was kept in a special small gourde without a neck known as Ensimbo.
This culture dates back to the origins of Inyambo longhorn cows during the rule of Gahima along the Nile 6000 BCE.
This practice is exclusive for tribes descdend from Gahima I.e Hamites, Kushites, Fulanites and Puntites. Bantu (Iru) typically do not practice this custom.

Allaah gives the best to those who leave the choice to Him."And if Allah touches you with harm, none can remove it but He, and if He touches you with good, then He is Able to do all things." (6:17)
